¡¡POWERING CRYPT-SCAMS OF SOCIAL NETWORKS!!

How about steemians, I was reading a couple of news to keep up with the CRYPTOMONEDAS and I have compiled some interesting information, I hope you like it, if so, let me know with your UpVote

As of January, a series of social networks have been prohibiting paid advertising advertisements for cryptocurrencies and, especially, for the Initial Currency Offers (ICO). But the truth is that they have not been any social networks, but the most used globally, so this decision has caused quite a stir in the crypto, to the point where many users and organizations have joined to sue the networks involved .

Everything started with Facebook, which is, in fact, the most popular social network on the globe, with more than 2,167 million active users every month (UAM) for January of this year, according to the study Digital in 2018 by We Are Social and Hootsuite. With the change of policies also includes Instagram, owned by Facebook, which according to the same study has 800 million UAM. Soon there is a domino effect: in China, this type of Internet advertising is prohibited at a territorial level, which includes networks such as Sina Weibo and Baidu Tieba, of which 376 and 300 million UAM are participating, respectively.

Social platforms (networks and chats) by number of active users per month (in millions) in January 2018.

They are followed by Snapchat, Twitter and most importantly after Facebook: the Google network. And this not only includes the most popular search engine in the world, but its linked sites, because AdWords policies are for your entire network. That is, platforms such as YouTube, Blogger, Gmail "and thousands of associated sites along the Internet," as defined on its official website.

So this is what has happened: if we only count on the most popular networks that we know with certainty that advertising on cryptocurrencies and ICO has been banned, we have a lost exposure of some 6.383 million users outside the crypto world. If we count Gmail, which includes some 1.2 billion users, Mailchimp (another mail service where this advertising was banned), which has 20 million, and Blogger, whose number is quite difficult to calculate but estimated at more than 540 millions; the final total amounts to a lost marketing segment of about 8,143 million users.
